If you ever try and do this again, or just in general for future playthroughs Lilith's cult following quest line ends in a legendary shield despite the fact it shows a purple shield reward
And that shield is great, and can over-perform its level fairly decently if you like to get in close and are fighting flesh enemies like bandits or animals!
The mission is incredibly hard because of the first mission in the line which forces you to have a fire weapon which the only two available to my knowledge are the infinity pistol and the emperor which are hard to get in fire and are bad guns. The next best is the baby maker which is also not easy to get in fire.
@@Phillip_PattenI decided to try this out for myself, and getting a fire Fastball did the job for me. Honestly, I think the most annoying part of the whole thing was the Boll farm and banking on getting a fire one.
God knows how many hours I have in the franchise but when you called the EXP Loaders “exploders” their name finally clicked for me. I feel so awakened and stupid.
@@Skull_she_heryou're either lying or you have a mod to increase drops because I've been playing this game since release and never once has he dropped it on a story kill... I've made 100s of new characters and most of them I got through the uvhm playthrough and I've never seen it once. Maybe I'm just unlucky
@@xdfishtsu he definitely does drop it but you’d have better luck farming a perfect part dpuh from savage lee, about 5k hours and I’ve gotten to drop maybe once or twice, never really went out of my way for it because I couldn’t be asked to farm a mid legendary for hours on end
I swear your luck in this game is incredible. No BS, when I did a brand new run recently, I only seen one legendary the entire time and that included far more grinding that this video. Even back in the 360/PS3 days, I rarely ever seen legendaries
Meaning when deciding to drop an item it only increases the chance that it drops as a blue it doesnt actually change the formula for commones or greens
yo, used to play bl2 split screen co op with my buddy whose parents were extremely religious and we couldn’t say “badass” so hearing you say bad nomad just flooded back a whole bunch of memories of all nighters and light hearted “bro where were you”s
I completely understand this because I started playing when I was 8, and it's a bit embarrassing, but my dad and I always said "bad butt" instead. Reading this also brought back all of those great times and got me to do another run with him recently.
Loved the video, look forward to more! For future runs a potential fix to the crashing issue is to turn off the ultra HD textures in the DLC menu, used to crash constantly but in the 30-40 hours or so after turning it off I have yet to crash a single time since, hope this helps!
Pretty good video. Game audio seemed a bit low, and the silence between during some sections were strange but overall very well edited. I recommend learning the dedicated legendary drop locations first if you continue into TVHM or do another legendary challenge run, it makes things easier if you know exactly what weapons/grenades/shields you want to farm for a playthrough. Also it would be cool to see you do all of the DLCs legendary only if you wanted to make this into a series.
@@LookIntoGamingyeah I would also add that maybe during the silent parts, you could maybe record ur audio while you play the game so u can add ur real time reactions in between bits of commentary.
@@LookIntoGamingif you have to farm bnk-3r again turn of the settings for the green corrosive goo and stuff it makes it so that no drops fall through the floor (i think its called physx or something)
To fix the crashes, you could try disabling physX and/or the ultra HD texture pack, it worked for me at least. Awesome video btw, it's nice to finally see someone trying a different route without any DLCs!
Thanks for the tip! I heard that from another source as well, but I like physX and the texture pack, however, I will disable them if it becomes a big problem.
Having too much FPS makes PhysX very buggy usually resulting in overflows and engine crashes apparently having above 90+ FPS makes this much more common @@LookIntoGaming
I think you are the only BL2 youtuber that uses physx on high. Unfortunately it's notoriously buggy, I think especially if you don't have Nvidia hardware
ive been playing bl2 for a bit recently, and have only gotten one legendary. some electric elemental grenade called the storm front. and, im not gonna sugarcoat it, it took 3 grenades and 3 sniper bullets to kill wilhelm. you killed him faster though, great video!
Solid video, great voice. Solid 1st and 2nd monitor video (1st monitor if one wants to see stuff, 2nd monitor video if one just wants something solid to listen to in the background of a gaming session). Only thing I'd say could "amp up" this, would've been some type of low music playing during the silent parts, or maybe a bit more boosted game volume at those parts :D
I agree with the music part, this was my first video of this type, and I wanted to see how it would do. But for future runs, I will find some copyright-free background music that actually sounds good.
Something to note towards the end of the video, when you kill Warrior for the first time via Moonshot Cannon (So just the story mode kill), it has a 75% chance to drop a legendary in it's pool, otherwise it's a 25% chance. Outside of that, most enemies (including warrior) have a 10% drop rate for their specific legendaries/heads, which are then split evenly between however many items that enemy has in it's dedicated pool, which can explain why for enemies such as King Mong, you had a dry streak of 14 runs. Overall, awesome video, would love to see you do another one for maybe a different borderlands game!!
Yeah, and most drops in BL2 are 5%, but in total, this was my luckiest run ever! And I have other parts of this same challenge in BL:TPS and BL3. I'm now working on the second part of the BL3 video, and I'm super excited to finish it!
Maya was my favorite vault hunter. You can phaselock from across the whole map. And you can lock basically anything that’s not a vehicle or a turret or giant. Also I’m surprised you didn’t do the hunter helquist farm
@@LookIntoGaming Hey, just to let you know for the future, Bad Maw can’t world drop any legendaries but his midgets can. Also, great video chief, keep it up!
I believe you have Physx effects on high, which is probably a major factor in your crashing. I think if you turned it off you'd notice significantly less crashes playing
not exactly he farms a bit but rarely farms anything specific to defeat the next challenge just some random legendary stuff, also the rules are pretty lenient in the beginning were he does use a non legendary classmod also there is a legendary relic in the game so using a blue relic that basically doesn't do much ain't all that bad but its not like there wouldn't be a relic to eventually farm for
Now knowing that people love this type and style of video, I have more runs like this planned. Some similar legendary only runs for other Borderlands games, and potentially cool challenges in other games.
4:06 one of the biggest disappointments in life for me was learning you can't make that grenade jump, until you get in the car there's an invisible wall
i recently finished playing bl2 with only legendary guns and had insane luck off the bat. i got a legendary pistol off of knuckle dragger after 4-5 attempts, got the legendary from both midgemong and boom bewm 1st try. I kept the pistol til the end of the game (in sanctuarys safe) and killed handsome jack with it
After seeing how much everybody likes this kind of video, I definitely will make more challenge run videos! I have a lot of interesting ideas for both Borderlands games and a bunch of other games you guys might like!
This kinda challenge run might actually be a challenge for me to do on Sal. No other challenges I've tried as Salvador have actually been that challenging.
Considering you have less than 1k subscribers the quality is surprising! I looked at subs after the video and thought I was watching a youtuber with 1m subs. Honestly just keep uploading stuff you have fun doing and I personally think you'll go far! Good work and you got an extra sub from me :)
Thank you very much! I'm glad so many people enjoyed this video, and the quality is only going to get better from here on, considering this was my first attempt at a video like this.
@@LookIntoGaming I just started getting into posting borderlands content and have been binging borderland’s content for inspiration and always trying to find more ways to better my content
As a person that hasn’t played Borderlands 2 in a while and not really up to date with the looting system I have to say such a well edited video. Earned yourself a sub!
careful about using the vault hunters relic! it increases rare drop chances, which is true, but only blue and purple rarity. If I remember correctly it can actually lower your drop chances for legendaries on certain boss fights!
General consensus as far as I’m aware is that it only slight lowers the chance of getting common items and slightly increases getting rare. I have not read anything about it affecting epics or legendaries
yeah I think you're right, I don't remember where I heard that it can lower legendary chance but I've been trying to find it. Can't find the same information now, so I probably remember incorrectly!
for maya theres also a bnk3r cheese strat similar to b0re with chain reaction, you have to phaselock a loader near the boss and you can basically one shot it
In my opinion you should be forced to use legendary class mod if you're going to see how difficult it is with only legendaries because that makes sense to me
True, level does matter, but it's still busted. I played 4 player coop with a few of my mates, and one was running maya. She's carried all 4 of us through the thousand cuts and control core even when we were 2 levels under (and had skulls over half enemies in normal mode). Cloud kill is insanely strong
Anything that can counter PWR and BUL Loaders is insanely strong. I know that the enemies' level isn't really visible, but most of the enemies in Hero's Pass are level 31-33 and The Warrior and Jack were lvl 32.
It doesn’t do that at all. The relic just straight up takes 5% from the common rate and gives it to rares (blues). It does jackshit for all other rarities
My man learned about cloud kill a decade late. This video just reminded me of how much fun I had of bl2 my first playthrough. Bl3 has better gameplay and quality of life stuff, but there was so much magic in bl2 my first playthrough
Maya is my second least-played VH, and I agree that BL3 is better for gameplay and guns, but BL2 is what I grew up on, so it will always be my favorite.
Yea but i am pretty sure you need a fire weapon for it, bc of the missions. (Idk how well the fast ball will carry) so unless you have the logans gun or world drop, it is pretty much impossible to be useful for the run
Ayo above average👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 outta every 10 runs, you were getting around 5.85 legendarys!!!! Plus the world drop shield which made this run extremely lucky right there😂 like you just said you needed one too I was like “you lucky mf wut”
I should have mentioned in the video why I didn't go for that: you need a fire weapon to finish the mission line (as far as I remember), and so I only wanted to do that mission line as a last resort, because I didn't want to waste even more time farming an incendiary legendary.
Thinking about it now, igniting the effigies is possible with Maya's 'immolate' skill while she's in fight for your life, but otherwise you need a fire weapon to ignite them, that's why I wanted this mission as a last resort. Oh yeah there's also one effigy you need to shoot, you can't reach it.
There is a ton of modded gameplay, but a lot of it is streamed on Twitch. I plan to make a modded run sometime, I'm just not sure what mods I will use.
That sounds cool, but a little too easy. However, this probably how the future BL3 run of this challenge will go. (But I will find a way to make BL3 interesting)
Vault hunter's relic doesn't increase you legendary drop rate it just increase how often you get Rares and from my experience it makes it slightly less likely to get all other rarities not just commons.
At first I thought this would be too easy (because of white/grey weapons being so common, meaning I always have one at my level), but I might have a cursed idea for a run like this.
It also doesn't do what you think it does, apparently. It reduces the chance of white rarity items, thereby boosting the chance of every other rarity. It's not amazing, but it's not like they're going to get a legendary relic during the run, so why not?
I never even knew that Boll dropped it, it was just farming him to see what he dropped. Either way the Fastball was extremely fun to use, especially against nomads.
Imagine if every enemy TYPE has a dedicated legendary. Like every bandit could drop a gub, every nomad could drop a badaboom, every bruiser could drop a blacl hole shield, etc. Thatd be pretty cool.
That is definitely a cool idea, but that would make farming some items annoying because you would need to kill a specific type of enemy in a spawn pool of a bunch of different enemy types.
The BL series has a ton of good VAs, and Gaige's VA also voices V in Cyberpunk and Irelia in League (and probably some others I haven't checked in a while).
Ez all u have to do is play sal and use double norfleet and badabooms and then the sham with the legendary berserker com and there u go challenge complete. All legendary items and there’s no point of a grenade if ur playing rocket jumping sal. And obv u can’t use relics during this challenge.
A cool run would be if u have 1 of each certain weapon you want lock them in but I have to farm that drop from its certain loot drop no bar I did this for pre bl2 and 3 was super fun I added a mix up by having to build those wepons specifically for a certain tree
Maya is one of my least played VHs, and I was thinking having a companion would be too good, but yeah, I didn't know how good Maya really was. Most of my playthroughs were years ago, and only on normal mode.
these challenge videos are how I get my encouragment to continue playing borderlands 2 (I got it on my first computer recently from steam so I have to start from scratch trying to 100% it)
100%ing BL2 and the other Borderlands games is one of my future goals, once I run out of my best challenge ideas, the only issue is I suck at the game, so raid bosses and OP levels will be interesting to learn.
I've played it for around 9-10 years, but most of that was with my dad, and we only did normal mode playthroughs, some of the dlcs, and rarely a TVHM playthrough. I have gotten halfway through a UVHM solo run, which I really need to get back to, but I really want to get to OP levels in the future.
I used to play a lot with my brother and cousins but my cousins stopped playing and me and my brother only play like 1 time every few months for a few hours so I'm basically the Lone hero after the team fell apart @@LookIntoGaming
You should definitely do more of these! I'd recommend including some sort of background music, especially because sometimes there are slightly awkward pauses with just gameplay showing, those should be avoided too imo. Still, great video
I gave the KerBlaster one chance to drop, but didn't get it. Yet I found that the enemy groups are spaced on the map in such a manner that Zer0 can use his skill to run from safe spot to safe spot until reaching the door to Midge-Mong. I'm now starting the Firehawk quest in Frostburn Canyon, and I wonder if I can get through it in the same way (and kill all enemies in a later side quest when I have the shield).
Interesting. The only thing blocking me from getting the Flame of the Firehawk was not having a fire weapon, otherwise I definitely would have gotten it.
It is funny how just a random bandit dropped a legendary shield, I played thousands of hours in Borderlands 2 and never seen a legendary from normal enemy
Not gonna lie man, you did blow my mind there when you revealed that Lilith, Tannis, Scarlett and Ritsuko are all the same person. I don't know if it's just me but I never made the connection
I really like seeing who voices what characters in games and anime, so I have a pretty good knowledge base of this stuff. And I think I'm the odd one out for being able to recognize voices in different series. (Most of it is from having looked up the VAs, but I've had my moments recognizing people.)
That was going to be my last resort. The main reason is you need a fire weapon to complete one of the missions, thinking about it now, I could have used fire barrels or Maya's Immolate skill, but I only thought of that after the run.
This was my first challenge run, and thinking about it now, I guess it was blind. I was only going off the farms I remember, and some enemies (like Badmaw) that I think might have drops.
@@LookIntoGaming Yeah, I saw that, Bad-Maw has no legendary drops, and also farming Saturn and Bunker isn’t something that I’d recommend, considering that both of them have some of the lowest legendary drop rates in the game. But the lack of planning made for some good content too, definitely added some tension in places and added some comedy in others.
yes and the run could get actually challenging in uvhm since there most builds and playthroughs rely on moxxie weapons which are all not legendary if i am not mistaken
Wow you have alot more pacents and luck than me on this I tried and got so sick of farming the same low level boss over and over by the time I got to sanctuary I had several level up all the legendary in the first area of the game and several week wasted.

Wrong it actually only increase blue drop rates by exactly 5% and nothing else
Meaning when deciding to drop an item it only increases the chance that it drops as a blue it doesnt actually change the formula for commones or greens
@arthurmurdoch7734 It decreases the chance to get a grey
That relic is pretty misleading. It only increases the drop chance for Blues.

Unkempt harold, conference call, and bee shield. Literally all you need to glaze the entire game.
True, but I wanted to see what legendaries you get throughout the game, and use guns and gear I normally wouldn't use/get in a normal run.

Except the percentage is such a low value it’s laughable, and does not lower legendary chance.
@@Chaz78why even write this comment? OP was correct
@@notyourdad9548 OP was not correct.
General consensus as far as I’m aware is that it only slight lowers the chance of getting common items and slightly increases getting rare. I have not read anything about it affecting epics or legendaries
yeah I think you're right, I don't remember where I heard that it can lower legendary chance but I've been trying to find it. Can't find the same information now, so I probably remember incorrectly!
Amazing video! Love your voice and editing!
Thank you very much!
Great video!
Thank you sir!
Underrated channel. I LOVE borderlands and borderlands challanges too.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
Some kind of background music would be nice, but you have a great narrative voice and good editing skills
Thank you! The reason I avoid music is mostly copyright, but I will do some experiments to see what I can use for future videos and streams.
So play music on the side. Actually nice watching a video without someones garbage music gouging out my ear drums.
@@rainwhenidie666 that is another valid point, it’s just a preference for a lot of people is all
for maya theres also a bnk3r cheese strat similar to b0re with chain reaction, you have to phaselock a loader near the boss and you can basically one shot it
In my opinion you should be forced to use legendary class mod if you're going to see how difficult it is with only legendaries because that makes sense to me
I agree, especially considering that I didn't get much of a bonus from the normal class mods, so I will be doing this in future runs.
Very chill video, nice to watch late at night. I recommend upping the pacing a tiny bit though. You deserve more subs.
Thank you! The next run is going to be way more refined than this one, as this was my first attempt at a video like this.
You make out cloudkill to be broken af but I'm pretty sure it's damage scales with your level and you were very overleveled u know
True, level does matter, but it's still busted. I played 4 player coop with a few of my mates, and one was running maya. She's carried all 4 of us through the thousand cuts and control core even when we were 2 levels under (and had skulls over half enemies in normal mode). Cloud kill is insanely strong
@@AlexeyBeganov yea I agree it is insanely strong I was 4 levels underleveled and when I unlocked it loaders specifically were not much of a problem
Anything that can counter PWR and BUL Loaders is insanely strong. I know that the enemies' level isn't really visible, but most of the enemies in Hero's Pass are level 31-33 and The Warrior and Jack were lvl 32.
this video was awesome to watch and your voice sounds amazing
Thank you so much! I never expected people to like my voice, and I really appreciate it!
The Relic only reduces the chances of getting comon drops, not more legendaries.
same thing
@@jayes13 not really, instead of getting more oranges, you get less whites but more of all the other rarities.
It doesn’t do that at all. The relic just straight up takes 5% from the common rate and gives it to rares (blues). It does jackshit for all other rarities
@@tracque_5677 really? Didn’t know that
@@martin_crakc786That’s what it did on release at least and I don’t see why they would have changed it
Keep up the borderlands content! Definitely will be added to the collection of UA-camrs I can binge for borderlands 😤👍
Exactly why I made this video, I wanted to see more great Borderlands challenge runs, so I decided to make my own!
I finally found this challenge...
My man learned about cloud kill a decade late. This video just reminded me of how much fun I had of bl2 my first playthrough. Bl3 has better gameplay and quality of life stuff, but there was so much magic in bl2 my first playthrough
Maya is my second least-played VH, and I agree that BL3 is better for gameplay and guns, but BL2 is what I grew up on, so it will always be my favorite.
PLEASE do more challenge runs!
Absolutely! I have way more cool challenges planned for future videos!
The grenade jump you tried to make around 4:00 requires a double grenade jump to make but if you do that its not too difficult
Btw you can get a legendary shield right after getting lilith back.
Yea but i am pretty sure you need a fire weapon for it, bc of the missions. (Idk how well the fast ball will carry) so unless you have the logans gun or world drop, it is pretty much impossible to be useful for the run
@@siddecoole No, you don't need any type of fire weapon
@@lunar8783 but you need to burn signs and burn Bandits for ashes right?
@@siddecoole Yeah but there we're things that lit them on fire
@@lunar8783 ait, never tried so that is why
I can’t believe you didn’t know boll dropped the Fastball. It’s so iconic! No matter, keep making good content
Thanks!
Everyone knows, that VH relic doesn't increase chance for legendaries - it only increases chance for blue rarity
This man still beat the odds on several occasions with it. I'm starting to think it gives good luck despite the fact that it objectively shouldn't.
I get a lot of questions on this so I made a short on how the Vault Hunter Relic really works: ua-cam.com/users/shortsi9K6a3Rx2zI
keep posting borderlands bro it does really good on your channel !
Ayo above average👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 outta every 10 runs, you were getting around 5.85 legendarys!!!! Plus the world drop shield which made this run extremely lucky right there😂 like you just said you needed one too I was like “you lucky mf wut”
Borderlands 2 legendary only but i have the most insane luck ever seen in yhe universe. Lol you got some crazy stuff
Just wondering did you forget about the flame of the firehawk for an early shield?
I should have mentioned in the video why I didn't go for that: you need a fire weapon to finish the mission line (as far as I remember), and so I only wanted to do that mission line as a last resort, because I didn't want to waste even more time farming an incendiary legendary.
@@LookIntoGaming cant you use phase lock?/melee
Thinking about it now, igniting the effigies is possible with Maya's 'immolate' skill while she's in fight for your life, but otherwise you need a fire weapon to ignite them, that's why I wanted this mission as a last resort. Oh yeah there's also one effigy you need to shoot, you can't reach it.
@@LookIntoGaming right, i forgot about the statues
@@LookIntoGamingyou can ignite with helios as well
I'm surprised that no1 on yt really did moded gameplay of this game
There is a ton of modded gameplay, but a lot of it is streamed on Twitch. I plan to make a modded run sometime, I'm just not sure what mods I will use.
try this on the og patch of bl2 with 3% drop rates
That sounds cool, but a little too easy. However, this probably how the future BL3 run of this challenge will go. (But I will find a way to make BL3 interesting)
@@LookIntoGaming Maybe you could go for Legendary guns only, no shield, classmod or grenade?
Fun fact, I got Unkempt Harold by accident. I wasn't even trying to look for the guy, I was helping with Hammerlock's almanac.
I got a 94 sham on a story kill on my last run
Very well done video and a fun challenge! Only thing I could recommend is some more background noise or music, it definitely goes a long way!
That is something I will work on in future videos.
Vault hunter's relic doesn't increase you legendary drop rate it just increase how often you get Rares and from my experience it makes it slightly less likely to get all other rarities not just commons.
I get a lot of questions on this so I made a short on how the Vault Hunter Relic really works: ua-cam.com/users/shortsi9K6a3Rx2zI
great video! You should add some music, and (personal preference) increase your FOV a bit!
gray only run when..?
At first I thought this would be too easy (because of white/grey weapons being so common, meaning I always have one at my level), but I might have a cursed idea for a run like this.
knuckle dragger was intimidated by a tatted chic running straight at them with only fists
When you say it like that, Knuckle Dragger is right to fear Maya. I mean, who wouldn't be intimidated?
that relic dosnt do what you think it does
Exactly, that relic only gives you a higher chance at Blue rarity
It lowers the white and greens out of the loot pools actually. Theoretically making blues purple and oranges drop at a higher rate.
It also doesn't do what you think it does, apparently. It reduces the chance of white rarity items, thereby boosting the chance of every other rarity. It's not amazing, but it's not like they're going to get a legendary relic during the run, so why not?
@@crayfishfuture iv never hada a legendry dropped while wearing it, iv been playing for mpr then 10 years
@@tropixi5336 You must not have been playing with it equipped for very long, lmao. Are you suggesting it makes legendaries drop less frequently?
love fastball, so glad to see you got 2 of em XD
I never even knew that Boll dropped it, it was just farming him to see what he dropped. Either way the Fastball was extremely fun to use, especially against nomads.
You are objectivily wrong, tiny tina is da BEST caracter in this game
That is hard to argue with, but I still love Scooter.
fair enough!@@LookIntoGaming
7:20 what do you think claptrap’s stash is for😐
I kind of forget that exists. The only issue is that the gear is only good for a few levels, so it's not usually worth it.
@@LookIntoGamingfair enough lol, I got a longbow slag grenade with 0.00 fuse time so I’ve been passing it around but ig that’s an exception
Imagine if every enemy TYPE has a dedicated legendary. Like every bandit could drop a gub, every nomad could drop a badaboom, every bruiser could drop a blacl hole shield, etc. Thatd be pretty cool.
That is definitely a cool idea, but that would make farming some items annoying because you would need to kill a specific type of enemy in a spawn pool of a bunch of different enemy types.
The true TVHM play through
So sad they killed scooter off between games, he WAS the best character.
I agree, I really wish that they would have just discarded the story from the Tales from the Borderlands game, and continued from BL2's story.
Jamie Marchi voices so many characters like AI from future diaries its so funny how she landed as Ellies voice actor.
Speaking of Future Diary, Moxxi's voice actor, Brina Palencia, voices Yuno, which is absolutely awesome.
@@LookIntoGaming Crazy how deep the rabbit hole of dub Vactors for both of them is lol.
The BL series has a ton of good VAs, and Gaige's VA also voices V in Cyberpunk and Irelia in League (and probably some others I haven't checked in a while).
I remember someone a long time ago saying that the vault hunter relic doesn't increase drop rates for anything above blue
I get a lot of questions on this so I made a short on how the Vault Hunter Relic really works: ua-cam.com/users/shortsi9K6a3Rx2zI
Ez all u have to do is play sal and use double norfleet and badabooms and then the sham with the legendary berserker com and there u go challenge complete. All legendary items and there’s no point of a grenade if ur playing rocket jumping sal. And obv u can’t use relics during this challenge.
okay, but you get the badabooms at the end of the game and the norfleet is a really rare drop.. so thered be no point in doing that lol
A cool run would be if u have 1 of each certain weapon you want lock them in but I have to farm that drop from its certain loot drop no bar I did this for pre bl2 and 3 was super fun I added a mix up by having to build those wepons specifically for a certain tree
This guy is way too underrated
True.
Finally someone who doesn't use radio for a live reaction
"She doesn't have a turret or a flying robot, so I think that she is pretty balanced"
Saying that a little too soon, buddy
Maya is one of my least played VHs, and I was thinking having a companion would be too good, but yeah, I didn't know how good Maya really was. Most of my playthroughs were years ago, and only on normal mode.
these challenge videos are how I get my encouragment to continue playing borderlands 2 (I got it on my first computer recently from steam so I have to start from scratch trying to 100% it)
100%ing BL2 and the other Borderlands games is one of my future goals, once I run out of my best challenge ideas, the only issue is I suck at the game, so raid bosses and OP levels will be interesting to learn.
@@LookIntoGaming i felt that "I suck at the game" part. it's only made worse given that I've been playing this game for around 7 years and still suck
I've played it for around 9-10 years, but most of that was with my dad, and we only did normal mode playthroughs, some of the dlcs, and rarely a TVHM playthrough. I have gotten halfway through a UVHM solo run, which I really need to get back to, but I really want to get to OP levels in the future.
I used to play a lot with my brother and cousins but my cousins stopped playing and me and my brother only play like 1 time every few months for a few hours so I'm basically the Lone hero after the team fell apart @@LookIntoGaming
You should definitely do more of these! I'd recommend including some sort of background music, especially because sometimes there are slightly awkward pauses with just gameplay showing, those should be avoided too imo. Still, great video
This was the first video of this type, and I have learnt a lot from comments and other videos, so the future runs will have major improvements!
@@LookIntoGaming glad to hear! I'm looking forward to future runs!
Same here
love the video! Some background music would help smoothen out the sections where you aren't talking
I plan to add some for my next challenge run video. This was pretty much just a test to see if people like this kind of video, and I guess they do!
I gave the KerBlaster one chance to drop, but didn't get it. Yet I found that the enemy groups are spaced on the map in such a manner that Zer0 can use his skill to run from safe spot to safe spot until reaching the door to Midge-Mong. I'm now starting the Firehawk quest in Frostburn Canyon, and I wonder if I can get through it in the same way (and kill all enemies in a later side quest when I have the shield).
Interesting. The only thing blocking me from getting the Flame of the Firehawk was not having a fire weapon, otherwise I definitely would have gotten it.
It is funny how just a random bandit dropped a legendary shield, I played thousands of hours in Borderlands 2 and never seen a legendary from normal enemy
That was the luckiest and most convenient drop ever! However, it used up all my luck, and the TPS run is not going great in terms of drops...
Not gonna lie man, you did blow my mind there when you revealed that Lilith, Tannis, Scarlett and Ritsuko are all the same person. I don't know if it's just me but I never made the connection
I really like seeing who voices what characters in games and anime, so I have a pretty good knowledge base of this stuff. And I think I'm the odd one out for being able to recognize voices in different series. (Most of it is from having looked up the VAs, but I've had my moments recognizing people.)
I enjoyed it, and it looks like you had fun too😊
Maya being balanced my butt she is a siren and can phaselock enemies to make it easy to kill them a maxed out phase lock build is pure evil
a level 25 unkept harold is all you need lmaoo
Why didn't you get the Flame of the Firehawk shield from the Cult Following mission?
That was going to be my last resort. The main reason is you need a fire weapon to complete one of the missions, thinking about it now, I could have used fire barrels or Maya's Immolate skill, but I only thought of that after the run.
Very nice video. I love challenge runs. Thanks for the content.
If you didn’t know if you do all of Liliths cult missions you get a legendary shield
you don't have an annoying voice. finally a borderlands youtube without an annoying voice
Thanks, I appreciare that!
game sound would be nice inbetween the silent akward gameplay
This was my first attempt at a video in this style, so I didn't have any bgm, but my newer videos are way better!
Honestly, respect for doing this run fairly blind, it resulted in some interesting strategies.
This was my first challenge run, and thinking about it now, I guess it was blind. I was only going off the farms I remember, and some enemies (like Badmaw) that I think might have drops.
@@LookIntoGaming Yeah, I saw that, Bad-Maw has no legendary drops, and also farming Saturn and Bunker isn’t something that I’d recommend, considering that both of them have some of the lowest legendary drop rates in the game. But the lack of planning made for some good content too, definitely added some tension in places and added some comedy in others.
Finished a play through like this today and the Lydia Sniper carried me all the way thru the game, and Bore of course 😂
I would like to see more videos like this it is a nice concept
yes and the run could get actually challenging in uvhm since there most builds and playthroughs rely on moxxie weapons which are all not legendary if i am not mistaken
remember to turn PhysX off to avoid unnecessary crashes
The issue is that I love PhysX. I have learnt to turn it off for longer / more important maps, or if I'm playing a character with a ton of slag.
@@LookIntoGaming that's fair. I play console so I'm free from the curse.
Great video! Just an fyi, badmaw doesn’t have any dedicated legendary drops, and if I’m not mistaken, he can’t world drop legendaries either.
Wow you have alot more pacents and luck than me on this I tried and got so sick of farming the same low level boss over and over by the time I got to sanctuary I had several level up all the legendary in the first area of the game and several week wasted.
I know what you mean! Slow and steady...
